Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 22, 2009

I hope that Viola’s charm does the trick.

Don’t know about Ernesto, but his real friends would definitely maintain a safe distance (look at that ghastly thing, how could it be a charm? looks like a spider)

I think it’s a handgrenade.

Wisht I’da thought of that.

So Ernesto IS imaginary! But wait! Viola can see him, too. So is Viola imaginary, too? Then how did the charm get onto Petey’s backpack? My mind has been blown just a little bit this morning.

good luck with that petey

Yep, Viola is DEFINITELY sweet on Pete. You don’t see her giving amulets to just anyone, do you?

It’s not just a spider, it’s a RADIOACTIVE spider. Next thing we know, it’ll bite Petey.

I think it has a bow or something on it, looks almost like a gift box to me. We shall see!

Petey’s in deep doo-doo, I bet Ernesto has all Viola’s backpack charms memorized. He’ll spot that as a talisman from his beloved for sure!

Vaya con Dios, Petey Potterpoop!

Viola couldn’t have expressed her passion for Petey better if she’d slugged him on the shoulder!
